Energy Prices Remain A Major Contributor of Higher Producer Prices

TURKEY
  • The Turkish Treasury and Finance Minister, Nureddin Nebati, has said that central bank reserve data set for release today will show an increase in foreign flows. Speaking to the A Para news channel, he said “direct investments are coming” but that “it does not matter where flows are coming from”, in response to a question on whether inflows are from Russia. This comes after announcement last week of Russian state-owned company Rosatom Corp. financing a $20b nuclear power plant in Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.
  • Dunya report that Turkey has become a “transit hub” for Russia following Western embargoes after the invasion of Ukraine. Speaking to WORLD, representatives of the logistics industry state have said that so-called “parallel imports” are mainly made through Russian investors who have established a company in Turkey. Russian businesspeople buy real estate in Turkey, granting them citizenship and allowing them to send imported products from the EU and the far east to Russia via its company in Turkey.
  • In its assessment of July price developments, the central bank this morning cited rising energy prices as a main contributor of higher producer prices. Elsewhere, the real effective exchange rate for July and weekly money and banking statistics are set for release at 12:30pm BST whilst President Erdogan will chair its Supreme Military Council meeting at 2pm BST.
